Except for the first, fourth, and two days of the new year, all were three digits, but it is still too early to see that the spread has completely broken. This is because it is difficult to say that the anxiety factors such as the possibility of group outbreaks in vulnerable facilities such as nursing hospitals and correctional facilities, and latent infections in the local community have completely disappeared. The average number of new confirmed cases per day for the past week is also decreasing little by little, but still more than 800 people do not meet the criteria for mitigating the’distance’ stage.
Although the government sees the current situation as a’moderate reduction phase’, the spread is maximized through’social distancing’ (metropolitan area 2.5 stage, non-metropolitan area stage 2) and’special quarantine measures’, especially banning meetings of 5 or more people nationwide. At the same time, it is a policy to continue quarantine and support for nursing hospitals with many elderly patients in order to suppress the occurrence of additional deaths.
